Career Vision Podcast: Jimmy Mac's Road from Chicago Radio to Star Wars
/
At a young age, Jimmy ‘Mac’ McInerney loved music, radio and Star Wars. Little did he know that he would eventually make those things into an incredible career, with tons of stories that deserve to be told as their own podcast stories. Fortunately for us, we get to enjoy a number of them on the latest episode of the Career Vision Podcast.
Jimmy Mac joined fellow WGN Radio teammate and Career Vision Podcast host Michael Piff for a long, entertaining and insightful conversation that covers his humble beginnings growing up in the area where John Hughes was filming his famous ‘Brat Pack’ era films, going to Kansas University for radio and finding his groove at Columbia College, breaking into the industry at WLUP The Loop, producing for Jonathon Brandmeier, meeting his wife/Chicago radio legend Wendy Snyder, getting in on the ground floor of the podcasting industry, developing and growing the premiere Star Wars podcast, Rebel Force Radio, trips around the world (including Skywalker Ranch), and much more!
For anyone interested in starting a podcast and making it into a serious part of their career, take notes. Lots of notes.
